OK, OK, just because Donny asked SO nicely , here are a couple of live takes from a show last week.

Not the usual fare, here... A Grateful Dead tune and some Johnny Nash (the reggae great)...

Why trash something that's good?

Solid playing and very nice vocals.

Bravo!
Very enjoyable performances.
Thank you for sharing.
I would say more but the arrangements have left me kind of speechless.

diki that demo is incredible and your voice is excellent.Reminds me of james taylor. But i am a little confused. You said that it as a smf that had been customised and only bass and drum were the smf , the rest is live but that piano and guitar both sound live . The guitar itself sounds truly like a real guitar better than any i have ever heard before on an arranger and sounds completely live. Also the second voice singng harmony is just soooo good. doesnt sound like any vocal harmoniser i have ever heard on any instrument before. Very clear and very very well performed.

What was your set up ? what instrument are you playing because i can tell you that if its all g70 then i have to publically take back anything bad i have ever said about the instrument. Obviously any instrument in the hands of a competant musician can sound good but this is extraordinay !

Very very well done sir

Nice tunes well played and good vocal, with the only criticism being that to me the drums sound very repetitive.
Post some more when you get the chance.

A great performer combined with a bad recording will sound worse then an average performer with a great recording, fortunately Diki is good at both.
BTW you will be amazed at how good a keyboard can sound with a great player. (You would think it was a totally different keyboard)

Very nice, Diki. The best part; it doesn't sound amateurish as so many of the postings do. Good job.
